B. & M. surveying Party.

| About ten days ago large number OF
letters were received at the post office
in this city which had been originally
sent to Lincoln, Neb., and from there
| re-mailed to this place, in care of the
b. & NJ. Company. Much speculation
was INDUCED in as to what it meant,
some thinking the letter were sent here
by mistake, while others expressed the
belief that B. q NJ. surveying party
was heading in this direction. On
Tuesday of this week a man appeared
at the delivery window Of the post Office
and called for the mysterious mail but
upon being questioned by the post
master as to the location Of his camp,
failed to respond, remaining as dumb as
a post. He left the Office without even
the manifestation ofa sign in answer 20
the questions directed to him by the p.
m., and dropping into a restaurant he
partook Of hasty lunch, and departed
on his blackboard, taking a westerly di-
rection on the Cheyenne road. We
hope to Iun this man down in time to
inform our readers Of his mysterious
intentions in our next issue; in the
meantime it may be well for our resi-
dents to prepare their minds for the
exciting declaration Of the early ap-
proach of the B. & NJ. in this direction
LATER.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that the survey is being made up
Beaver creek, and that the party has
been on that stream for the past two
weeks, and that they have run three
different lines from the Wyoming line
up Beaver creek, a distance of twelve
miles. Their camp has been about
seven miles above the & G. Cattle
ranch until recently, when they moved
twenty miles further north 1t is evil
IDENTITY their intention to survey line
into the oil, salt and coal fields of Wyo-
ming.
